That bloody packham gets right up my nose, spouts how much he loves birds and is a do gooder, then smiles and giggles as he watches and describes to the viewers a sparrowhawk or a peregrine dismembering a live finch/songbird or a pigeon, then has the front to go to a foreign country and tell them how wrong they are by shooting birds, the guy is a t--t, every time I watch him I could strangle the Pratt, thinks he's the new Attenborough , not in a million years.

packham is a wolf in sheeps clothing in his book he openly flaunts his love for the killer birds typical bbc harbouring yet another charlatan and theres nothing natural about selecting which nests and species get special treatment ...they never rescued the jay or the robins which fell from the nest when feathered but not quite able to fly ...nothing natural about man made nest sites
